The present form of Inter University Board that was previously established for promoting cooperation and coordination among Universities is
AIU
The question pertains to the history and evolution of an organization aimed at promoting cooperation and coordination among universities in India. The correct answer to this question is the Association of Indian Universities (AIU).
Explanation:
- The Inter-University Board was founded in 1925 as a body that would foster collaboration and coordination among universities in British India, and later, across India.
- In 1967, this organization was rechristened as the Association of Indian Universities (AIU). Its main role is to provide a platform where universities can engage in dialogue and exchange information beneficial for their growth and development.
- The AIU acts as a representative organization of the Indian higher education system and works towards shaping higher education policies, mutual recognition of degrees, and facilitating various educational and cultural exchanges among member universities.
- Let's briefly consider the other options:
- UGC (University Grants Commission): Established in 1956, the UGC is a statutory body responsible for coordinating, determining, and maintaining standards of higher education in India.
- NUEPA (National University of Educational Planning and Administration): Primarily focused on research and capacity building in educational planning and management.
- ICSSR (Indian Council of Social Science Research): Its main function is to promote and fund research in social sciences in India.
- As we can see, none of the other organizations mentioned have been evolved from the Inter-University Board, which makes AIU the correct answer.
Therefore, the present form of the Inter-University Board, established to promote cooperation and coordination among universities, is AIU (Association of Indian Universities).
